MOTOR-"VEHICLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 18, 1907.

Application filed October 24, 1904. Serial No. 229,766.

Be it known that I, LYNN C. LI LL, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Kalamazoo, county of Kalamazoo, State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Motor-Vehicles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in motor vehicles.

The objects of this invention are, first: To provide an improved motor vehicle in which the dust created by the movement of the vehicle over the road is carried or deflected away from the vehicle. Second: To provide an. improved motor vehicle adapted to accomplish the object stated, in which the cylinder exhaust is utilized for the purpose.

Further objects, and objects relating to structural details, will definitely appear from the detailed description to follow.

I accomplish the objects of my invention by the devices and means described in this specification.

The invention is clearly defined and pointed out in the claiirs.

A structure embodying the features of my invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, in which,

Figure 1. is a plan view of a structure embodying the features of my invent ion, the vehicle body, with the exception of the side and end rails being removed to show the arrange- Fig. 2 is a detail longitudinal sectional. view, taken on a line corresponding to line 22 of Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the little arrows at the ends of the section lines, showing the form of the delivery nozzle B. Fig. 3 is a plan view of a 'I"II()(llfiP(l construction of my invention, showing the same adapted to a double cylinder motor and in connection with mu filers. Fig. 4-

a detail side elevation showing the relation of the delivery nozzles to the vehicle body.

In the drawing, similar letters of reference refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

Referring to the drawing, A represents the body frame of a motor vehicle. The motor B is carried by the cross pieces (I, the parts being illustrated in conventional form. delivery pipe B is connected to the exhaust port of the motor cylinder. vided with a fan-shaped delivery nozzle 1 which is preferably pear-shaped in cross-section. 'lhis delivery nozzle is preferably This pipe is proabout the width of the vehicle body and is arranged to deliver rearwardly beneath the rear end thereof, as appears in Fig. 1. This delivery nozzle is preferably provided with a slot-like delivery opening as is illustrated so that the exhaust is delivered in a thin sheet. This deflects the air current which is caused by the movement of the vehicle, away from the vehicle, and does not permit it to roll up behind the vehicle into the same, as it has a tendency to do.

In the modified constru -tion shown .in Fig. 3, a double cylinder reotor f) is illustrated. Delivery pipes f) are connected to the exhaust ports of the motor cylinders. These pipes deliver to the mufllers f). The mufflers l) are provided with single delivery openings at the rear. A pair of fan-shaped delivery nozzles b are provided for the mufflers. These two nozzles deliver the exhaust substantially in the same manner as the delivery nozzle B of the structure illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2.

I have illustrated and described my improved motor vehicle in the form preferred by me on account of its structural simplicity and economy, and its durabili ty; and because this particular form presents very slight obstruction to the delivery of the exhaust. .I am aware, however, that it .is capable of being considerably varied without departing from my invention.

Ilaving thus described my invention, what I claim as new aml desire to secure by Letters Patcnt, is:

1. In a motor vehicle, the combination of a suitable body; a motor cylinder; an exhaust port therefor; a delivery pipe eonnected to said exhaust port; and a fanshap d deliy cry nozzle therefor, pear-shaywd in cross-section, having a slot-like opening extending substantially across said vehiide body, arranged under said body close to the bottom thereof, said delivery nozzle being directed to deliver rearwardly from beneath said body; for the purpose specified.

2. .In a motor vehicle, the combination of a suitable body; a motor cylinder; an exhaust port therefor; a delivery pipe connected to said exhaust port; and a fan-shaped delivery nozzle therefor, having a slot-like opening extending substantially across said vehicle body, arranged under said body close to the bottom thereof, said delivery nozzle being directed to deliver rearwardly from beneath said body; for the purpose specified.

3. In a motor vehicle, the oombin ation of a suitable body; a motor cylinder; an exhaust port therefor; a delivery pipe connected to said exhaust port; and a delivery nozzle therefor, having a slot-like delivery opening extending substantially across said vehicle body, arranged under said body close to the bottom thereof, said delivery nozzle being directed to deliver rearwardly from beneath said body for the purpose specified.

4. In a motor vehicle, the combination of a suitable body; a motor cylinder; an exhaust port therefor; a delivery pipe connected to said exhaust port; and a delivery nozzle therefor, extending substantially across said vehicle body, arranged under said body close to the bottom thereof, said delivery nozzle being directed to deliver rear- Wardly from beneath said body; for the purpose specified.

5. In a motor vehicle, the combination of a suitable body a motor cylinder; an exhaust j port therefor; a delivery pipe connected to said exhaust port, and a delivery nozzle therefor, arranged under said body close to the bottom thereof, said delivery nozzle being directed to deliver rearWardly from beneath said body for the purpose specified.

6. In a motor vehicle, the combination of a suitable body; a motor cylinder; an exhaust port therefor; a delivery pipe connected to said exhaust port; and a delivery nozzle therefor, arranged under said body close to the bottom thereof, said delivery nozzle being directed to deliver outwardly from beneath said body, for the purpose specified.

In Witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal, in the presence of two Witnesses.
